Xiong is a weaponsmith who manufactures and sells a variety of hand weapons. He greets you warmly and invites you to browse his weapon racks at your leisure. Each of the weapons has a price tag. Those of most interest are:

- Axe: 80 Ren (8 Gold Crowns)
- Bow: 200 Ren (20 Gold Crowns)
- Arrows: 10 Ren each (1 Gold Crown each)
- Dagger: 50 Ren (5 Gold Crowns)
- Sword: 100 Ren (10 Gold Crowns)
- Mace: 100 Ren (10 Gold Crowns)

You may buy any of the items listed above for the price indicated. With the exception of the Bow (which you carry slung over your shoulder) and the Arrows (which are kept in your Quiver), they are all Weapons that you carry sheathed on your belt. You are under no obligation to make a purchase at this establishment.

Xiong gives a respectful bow and he bids you good night when you leave the shop.

If you choose to visit or revisit Hopdai’s Hardware on the opposite side of the street, turn to 45.

If you decide to continue along South Avenue, turn to 149.
